Abstract
A cylindrical door lock includes an escutcheon member having a sleeve, a tube rotatably engaged in the sleeve, a knob rotatably secured to the sleeve and having a lock device, a barrel rotatably received in the escutcheon member and having one or more projections for engaging into the tube, an inner knob secured to the barrel, a rod slidably engaged in the inner knob and having two depressions, a spring catch engaged on the barrel and having two legs for selectively engaging with the depressions of the rod and for selectively locking the barrel to the rod.
Claims5
A cylindrical door lock for a door, said door lock comprising:
- an escutcheon member for securing to the door, said escutcheon member including a chamber formed therein, and including a sleeve extended therefrom and having a bore formed therein and communicating with said chamber of said escutcheon member and having a stop pin extended inward of said bore thereof,
- a block received in said chamber of said escutcheon member, and including a hole formed therein, and including a lateral channel formed therein and communicating with said hole thereof,
- a tube including a tubular body rotatably engaged in said bore of said sleeve and said hole of said block, and including a first end having a peripheral bulge extended radially outward therefrom and rotatably received in said channel of said block and engaged with said block for limiting a sliding movement of said tube relative to said escutcheon member and said block, said tube including a groove formed in said tubular body for selectively and slidably receiving said stop pin and for limiting said tube to slide relative to said sleeve, and said tube including a hole formed therein and at least one orifice formed in said first end thereof, said tube being rotatable relative to said sleeve when said stop pin is disengaged from said groove of said tube,
- a first knob rotatably secured to said sleeve, and including a lock device secured therein and having an actuator extended within said duct,
- a shank rotatably received in said tube, and including a first end having a notch formed therein for receiving said actuator and for allowing said shank to be rotated and driven by said lock device and said outer knob, said shank including a second end having an actuator extended therefrom and extended outward through said hole of said tube,
- a barrel including a first end rotatably received in said chamber of said escutcheon member, and including a chamber formed therein, and including at least one projection extended from said first end thereof for selectively engaging into said at least one orifice of said tube and for selectively securing said barrel to said tube, said barrel including an aperture formed in said first end thereof, said barrel including an outer peripheral portion having a peripheral recess formed therein, and including two orifices formed therein and communicating with said peripheral recess thereof,
- means for biasing said tube toward said barrel to force and engage said at least one projection of said barrel into said at least one orifice of said tube and to secure said barrel to said tube, and to disengage said stop pin of said sleeve from said groove of said tubular body,
- a second knob secured to said barrel and rotated in concert with said barrel and including an aperture formed therein,
- a rod slidably engaged in said aperture of said second knob and said aperture of said barrel, and including a first end extended outward of said second knob, and including a second end having a pair of depressions formed therein and having a passage formed therein for slidably receiving said actuator of said shank,
- a spring catch engaged in said peripheral recess of said barrel and including two legs engaged through said orifices of said barrel and engaged inward of said chamber of said barrel for selectively engaging with said depressions of said rod and for selectively locking said barrel to said rod, said rod being rotatable relative to said barrel to disengage said legs of said spring catch from said depressions of said rod when said rod is rotated by said lock device via said shank,
- a latchbolt slidably engaged through said escutcheon member, and
- means for coupling said barrel to said latchbolt and to actuate said latchbolt.
